Chapter 4 The Next Day
They all slept in until ten or eleven from their exhausting day of torture the previous day. After they were all awake and dressed, they met at De-ji and Suta's house to figure out how they got there and how to get them back. Suta was finishing a picture at that time, and it gave her an idea. But before she could explain it, De-ji had given them 20 dollars to go eat at Taco Bell. And so after Suta explained her theory to De-ji, they climbed onto a bus to explain to Luffy and Zoro their idea and ok if they wanted to test their experiment. But when they got there, they were nowhere to be seen, and they searched for them for an hour before they realized a large crowd following two people. It was probably Luffy and Zoro, because Luffy's stupidity probably gave away their secret identities. When De-ji and Suta realized this, they shouted angrily "Idiots!" and ran over to Luffy and Zoro and explained to the crowd that it was a prank, laughed nervously, and luckily the crowd believed them and slowly scattered. De-ji gave them both a good scolding, while Suta giggled.
"I can't believe they fell for that!" said Luffy.
"That's awesome!" said Suta, amused. And they all started laughing, even Zoro! (and seriously, how much does that happen?)
"Suta figured out how to get you guys back, do you want to participate in the experiment?" asked De-ji hopefully.
"Or do you want to stay here with us?" Suta interjected.
"This place is cool with all the cars and fast food restaurants, but we need to be back where we belong." Luffy said.
"I hate to admit it, but Luffy is right. We need to get back, our nakama is probably worried sick." Said Zoro, regretfully.
"We can only do one experiment today, because we have church, and need to get you guys ready." Said De-ji.
"You guys should go do something else, while I work on the experiment, so you guys won't bug me while I'm working." Said Suta.
"All right, sounds fair," said Zoro.
"LET'S GO!" shouted Luffy excitedly. Suta started working tediously on her experiment.
MEANWHILE…
Luffy, Zoro, and De-ji were playing around the woods just having fun.
"ook, ook!" said Luffy as he swung from branch to branch, CRAK The branch broke, unable to support his weight, so he fell to the ground with a loud THUD. Zoro walks over to check on him, and accidentally steps on him, and asks "Are you okay?" Luffy lifts his head a little and says, "I'm okay.." and his hand slaps back to the ground. And after a few moments of silence, Luffy jumps up and exclaims, "That was fun! Let's do it again!" WHACK De-ji and Zoro smacked Luffy on the head. Luffy stretched his arm up to the branch, but then Suta comes up behind him, and says "The experiment is ready." Luffy looks behind him in surprise, and says "Huh?" As a result of not paying attention, Luffy arm catapults him into the air. Everbody but Zoro winced as he crashed to the ground, Zoro just laughed. De-ji slapped him on the head for his rudeness.
BACK TO THE HOUSE
As they walked inside Suta's room, they saw a stunning picture of Luffy and Zoro.
"WOW! It's so realistic!" screeched Luffy happily.
"All you have to do is jump in, and you should be back." Said Suta, full of confidence.
"should be?" asked Zoro nervously.
"Give me a break! This is just an experiment, so anything could happen." Said Suta.
"I'm not jumping in there if anything could happen." Said Zoro.
"awww is wittle Zowo scawed?" said De-ji in a mockingly way.
"Alright, fine. I'll do it just to prove I'm not a baby." Said Zoro, irritated. Then, the big moment. As Luffy and Zoro hurled onto the picture in unison, absolutely nothing happened.
"YOU IDIOT! What are you trying to pull?" asked Zoro, infuriated.
"I really thought it would work!" Suta said, her hands over her face and head protectively.
"Calm down, Zoro. It was just an experiment." Said Luffy.
"Since the experiment didn't work we are going to have to teach you how to behave in church." Said De-ji, not wanting a fight to start.
At six o'clock, Luffy and Zoro returned to their tent, while De-ji and Suta ate their dinner, and brang the leftovers to them.
"The first and most important rule is to BE QUIET! Because it is very rude and innappropriate to be loud" said De-ji.
"That should be easy then.." said Zoro
"no sleeping either, bonehead!" De-ji said.
"that will be hard." Said Zoro, about to fall asleep.
"second rule is to participate in singing and prayer." Said Suta, glaring at Zoro. (because he's and atheist)
"And absolutely—"positively" Suta interjected "NO SWEARING!!!"
"that should be easy, I don't swear anyway." Said Luffy at ease.
"same here." Said Zoro.
"and at least try to pay attention to the sermon.." said Suta.
"I think that about covers it, now you should get a good night's sleep." Said De-ji.
"okay," they said. . As Suta and De-ji walked out the door, everybody said goodnight to each other.
